IIHNE-Interfaces & Interactions in numerical & Instrumental Hydrodynamics

The IIHNE research group is studying complex hydrodynamic flows in interaction with marine structures.



The group's research can be applied to problems in marine engineering (naval, offshore, EMR) and performance or safety of marine structures. The research group also works on experimental and numerical modeling of the dynamic behavior of marine structures and systems (ships, wind and hydroelectric platforms, submarines, sailboats, etc.) under the effect of external forces (waves, winds, currents ...) or internal (Safran, mobile appendices ...).

Industrial Chair and Joint Laboratory

The H2i group is also involved in the research work of an industrial chair and a joint laboratory:

• Bureau Veritas/Centrale Nantes Chair on ships of the future
• Joint Laboratory of Marine Technology, Naval Group (formerly DCNS), Centrale Nantes and Nantes University
